THE PERSIAN SMOKER.
What His Pipe Bearer Is Invariably Ex-
pected to Do.

st. James Gazette.
The pipe bearer brays the dry leaf tobacco in
mortar; to every ten pounds weight of the
coarse powder produced he adds handful of
salt and carefully mixes it. Then he takes
consumption. thoroughly moistens it with
water and places it in saucer, where
it remains all night Next day it is fit to smoke.
All dav long the pipe bearer sits ready to fill and
light the pipes for his master and his guests.
Should his master go upon journey the pipe
bearer is there. mounted on sturdy roadster.

water bottle, holding perhaps a couple of gallons,
and an iron fire-pot very similar to that used by
thinkers in this country and full of live charcoal
He manages to keep always within hail of his
master
In front of his saddle are borne two huge cyl
inders of leather, carried as our cavalry bands

bearer withdraws the gold or silver pipe head
from its receptacle. Drawing bag filed with
tobacco from his waist belt. he takes
piece of it. wet as it is. about

perfuous water and a good deal of nicotine, for
Persian tobacco in its natural state-at least
that used in the kalian-wo1ld be too strong to
smoke. And now he carefully fits the perforated
conical windguard upon the pipe head and by
means of pair of tiny to1gs fills it with live
charcoal from his fre-pot.
Then the rest of the apparatus of the
water-pipe, which is always kept ready filed
with water, is withdrawn from the cylindrical
ceDtacle; the flexible SNAKE" some five feet
long, is rapidly adjusted the pipe bearer

blowing through the snake. This vets the joints

now draws couple of whffs of hot air
through the pipe to that it goes properly,
and hands it to the mounted valet who. seizing
the mouthpiece, proceeds apparently to smoke it.
But the is merely lighting his masters
pipe, for there is good deal of charcoal fume
and very little tobacco in the first few whiffs.

this is the invariabe etiquette as the pipe is
passed from hand to HANDY; then, with obeis-
ance, he hands tho mouthpiece to his master
and ambles along at his side, bearing the pipe,

smoked their fill
AS rule the flexible tubes are only used upon
the road and by priests, lawyers and doctors.
The latter sometimes make up pipe containing
half pound of tobacco. which is placed in the
midst of their circle of clients or patients, and
the mouthpiece passes around for hour or
two, until the tobacco is all smoked out

Chinese Times.

In the days of the Shang dynasty, some 1,500
years before Christ, there lived in the province
of Shansi most famous sorcerer called Chao.

consult the oracle. and Chao, having OWNED

the trembling P'ang that he had but six days
to live. Now however much may trust
the sagacity and skill of our family physician.
We may be excused if, in matter of life and
death, we call in second doctor for a consulta-

To the fair Peach blossom he went, young lady
who had acquired some reputation

the story of his woe. Her divination yielded

successful. and on the seventh day great
Chaos astonishnent and still greater mis- mortif-

evening stroll and learned that there lived a
greater magician than he. The story would soon

OIL FUEL VERSUS COAL.
The Questions of Cost and Supply-On Is Not
Plentiful Enough.
New York Times.


When experiments with oil AS fuel for loco
motives were made the Pennsylvania road
between Altoona and Pittsburg last June, the
company could have foreseen only success, so
far the technical or mechanical side of the
problem was concerned, for the process was one
that had been in practical Russian rail-
roads for about four years. 1t was invented by
Thomas Urquhart. now locomotive superintend-
ent of the Griazi-Tsaritzn road. in south
eastern Russia the only railway in the world
that uses no fuel except petroleum in all of its
locomotives and stationary furnaces. But
while the Pennsylvania Companys experiments
were successful from technical point of view,
it does not follow that oil can proftably be sub
stituted for coal even this road, which lies
50 near the richest oil regions of the United
States
The question is one of cost It is also one of
supply By the Urquhart process the oil is
verted by q jet of steam compressed air into
a finely divided spray, and this spray is deliv-
cred into the frebox to be burned in friedrich
furnace. One pound of oil used in this way will
do the work of Il pounds of coal. If we take
into account certain incidental economies,
pound OF oil is equal to two pounds of coal A
ton of oil equal 81 barrels. When the
cost of ton of coal is the same the cost of 81
barrels of oil no money is saved by using oil.
example. oil makes neither smoke cinders,
and the fremans work is reduced to the manipu-
lation of wheel which regulates the supply.
The price OF 81 barrels of crude oil Is now about
81 and if company must pay more than So per
ton for coal, oil is the cheaper fuel, provided
crude oil is used. But we understand that re-
duced oil is preferred, and its price is higher.
The Railroad Gazette states that there are few
places in the country where oil at present quo
tions-and these low-can be used fuel
with saving.
Again. the Pennsylvania road alone burns, it
is said. s, 900 tons of coal a day. At this rate
the qunan tity of coal used in year by road
would be equivalent to more than 1900. 900 bar
rels of oil. This is about e-third of the
nual product of oil in the United States. If this
company should substitute oil for coal through
out its system the price of oil would inevitably
rise until coal would be by far the cheaper fuel.
1t is estimated that the entire annual supply of
American oil would be exhausted by the rail-
roads of the United States in less than six
months if they should all burn oil instead of
coal. It is not probable therefore. that oil will
be largely used on railroads. Even if the
supply could be definitely fixed for years to
come. the general Of such fuel by
extensive railroad system would raise the price
SO high that coal would take its old place. More
over. no railroad company desires to be depend
ent upon the Standard Oil monopoly.
